Source: syncevolution Version: 1.5.3-1 Severity: serious User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs gconf Tags: sid buster patch
Your package build-depends on libgconf2-dev, but gconf will be removed from Debian soon. gconf's last release was about 5 years ago. It has been replaced by gsettings (provided in Debian by source glib2.0 ) It looks like gconf isn't used so you should be able to just remove libgconf-2-dev from Build-Depends. (No patch attached since this should be a trivial fix.) By the way, I had a problem building syncevolution. It complained that it couldn't find test/dbus-server-sync.py as requested by debian/syncevolution-dbus.examples . That issue is unrelated to this gconf bug.
